Abstract

Participants are notified of the loading progress or consumption of shared content by other participants. Participants generate progress information that is broadcast or sent to other participants. Progress information may be reported according to a designated time frequency and/or progress frequency. Connections established early in the loading process between the participants convey progress information to each participant. Depending on network topology, progress information may be sent via a server or peer to peer. By communicating the expected waiting time or completion time f other users, participation by a specific user in the multi-user application may increase accordingly.
